There are countless other ways that you can support Peaceful Place and we have listed a few below. If you have any other ideas then please, don’t hesitate to contact us.

 

 

• Volunteer to do a few hours in our charity shop or help with fundraising

• Hold a raffle for us at work, a social club, school, church, etc.

• Donate unwanted clothes and items to our charity shop

• Sponsored casual clothes day at work. Charge £1 to wear your own clothes and £2 for anyone that doesn’t join in!

• Go and browse in our charity shop and see if you can't unearth an amazing bargain

• Hold a competition at work for the worst tie or get everyone to come in wearing a silly hat or in fancy-dress 

• Volunteer to distribute leaflets for us

• Ask the Secretary of your club or society if Peaceful Place can come and speak at one of your get-togethers

• Let us print something about Peaceful Place in your company newsletter, school newsletter or church magazine

• Sponsor one of our events or advertise in our newsletter (please ask for details)

• Offer us commission on sales generated by us, and we will include your business in the directory on our website

• Re-cycle old mobile phones, printer cartridges or other goods for cash on our behalf

• Donate items to us when you take advantage of a Buy One Get One Free deal

• Host an open garden event - do you have a gorgeous garden with gigantic gardenias or a woeful garden with a wealth of weeds? Either way, hold an open garden for us and charge people to admire it or sympathise with you

• Sweepstakes - hold a sweepstake on a big horse-race, who is going to win the World Cup, or other sporting occasions and donate the money raised.

• Come Dine with Me - hold a meal event and invite friends charging so much per head, this could be an evening meal or an afternoon tea - the choice is yours!

• Christmas cards - instead of sending each other Christmas cards, why not agree to donate a small amount each to Peaceful Place instead

• Restaurant meals - many restaurants will offer a cash back for charities on certain nights, if you're going out with a group anyway, why not ask the restaurant if they will do this (we can give you a list of a few names around Southend on request)

• Organise a sponsored run, walk, diet, hair-wax, or be sponsored to stop smoking.

• Form a 100 club. 100 people pay in a small amount each week, 50% of money is given out as 1st and 2nd prize and the rest is given to Peaceful Place

•  Have a swear box at work and charge per swear word (of course we are not condoning swearing, just profiting from it!)

• Party Plan - hold a Virgin Vie, Body Shop, Phoenix card, jewellery party and donate the commission to Peaceful Place
